debate 2012

(crummy iPictures)

Several months ago, Aaron came home from school excitedly telling me about his opportunity to join the school debate team. We told him he could join and I took him to school early two times a week for practice.

He started quite enthusiastically, but after a while his enthusiasm waned. A bunch of kids had quit after discovering it wasn't that fun. He wanted to quit too. (I would have liked to let him quit because I was sick of driving him to school early!) We talked about it and discussed that he had made a commitment and his coach was counting on him. So he stuck with it.

The regional competition took place last week.  He and his partner (the dark headed boy next to him in the picture above) did a great job. They took second place and will go to the State competition next month.

I love it when hard work pays off with a great reward in the end!

(Even if it means I need to keep driving him to school early.)

Cool!

Now you just have a couple years until Brick's ready. I'm not sure he'd even need practices.
